Adventures in fact-checking for students

Inventor of the AR-15

Text reads: “The inventor of the AR-15 never intended it to be used by civilians. ‘Our father, Eugene Stoner, designed the AR-15 and subsequent M-16 as a military weapon to give our soldiers an advantage over the AK-47. He died long before any mass shootings occurred. But, we do think he would have been horrified and sickened as anyone, if not more by these events.”
